The Phillies, fresh off back-to-back shutout losses and owners of an 11-35 road record, seemed like a prescription-strength slump-buster on Friday night.
Whatever medicine the Giants were taking was a history-making type, resulting in a 15-2 win over Philadelphia — their 22 hits set are the franchise’s most ever at AT&T Park.
The Giants matched their previous five games of offensive production in a single frame, using an eight-run fourth inning to cement the win. The victory is just San Francisco’s second in its past 10 games.
Major offensive contributions came from multiple sources, including Justin Maxwell, who came up a home run short of the cycle.
